CHICAGO – Some folks see Black Friday as a chance to power shop. Jennifer Jasudowicz and Ed Kossman see it as the perfect wedding date and have scheduled their ceremony outside the same store in the same shopping mall where they met six years ago.

Yes, with just a few close friends and a few thousands bargain hunters as witnesses, the couple planned to wed Friday outside the second floor JC Penney store at the Orland Square Mall, the Chicago Tribune reported.

What's more, they'll arrive at their nuptials by escalator.

Jasudowicz, 36, and Kossman, 47, first locked eyes in the exact same place on Black Friday in 2005, the Tribune said, as she was looking for an outfit to wear on a blind date and he shopped with his daughter.

They started talking, the blind date was reclassified as a friend and they became a couple after their first date.

"I had never been to the mall on Black Friday before," Jasudowicz told the Tribune. "(Kossman) hadn't either. I'm not the type that's checking out guys at the mall, either. It was just meant to be."
